Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Su Yueran heard the doctor’s words, her eyes lit up. She touched her stomach and was secretly delighted.

Now that she was pregnant and it was Lin Qingyuan’s child, even for the sake of her stomach, Lin Qingyuan should not treat her so heartlessly anymore.

However, reality proved that no one could guess Lin Qingyuan’s thoughts.

Hearing the doctor’s report, Lin Qingyuan’s expression was unreadable. “I understand. Keep this baby for her first.”

“Yes.”

!!

After the doctor left, Lin Qingyuan glanced at Su Yueran, who was looking happy. “Don’t be happy too early. Do you really think I care about a child??”

The smile on Su Yueran’s face froze. “Master.”

“If you can’t complete the task I gave you, not to mention you, even this child will serve those beggars outside,” Lin Qingyuan said with a calm expression, as if the wife and child in front of him could not stir up any emotions.

Su Yueran lowered her head silently. At this moment, other than being obedient, she had no other choice.

“Go out.” Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. “Don’t be an eyesore here.”

The older generation in China had a saying: Marry a virtuous wife and prosper for three generations.

Seeing Su Yueran, Lin Qingyuan felt that he was the negative example of this old saying.

Thinking of Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, Lin Qingyuan could not hide his anger. If not for their trap, he would not have married Su Yueran.

Although Wei Jin was not as outstanding as Xia Wanyuan, she was also a rare woman. If he had married her back then, perhaps the situation today would have been different.

Thinking of Wei Jin, Lin Qingyuan made a call.

“Have you found the information I asked you to investigate?”

“Master, I found it. Wei Jin has already arrived in Linxi at the end of last month. She’s near the Wei family in Jiangnan now.”

“Continue to watch. If anything abnormal happens, come back and report to me immediately.”

“Yes.”

Wei Jin, Jiangnan Wei family, Lin Qingyuan sat quietly and thought about the connection between the two.

It seemed that Xia Wanyuan’s appetite was quite big. She had reached out to Jiangnan.

——

In the darkness of Beijing, there were strange clouds.

However, on the surface, it was still calm. The weather had been very good recently, and today was a rare sunny day.

However, the atmosphere in the manor was not that good.

“Uncle, why are you leaving again??” Xiao Bao reluctantly pulled Xia Yu’s clothes and pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.

Xia Yu stroked Xiao Bao’s head. “Uncle has to work. I’ll come back and visit you next time, okay?”

Xiao Bao’s eyes were filled with tears. “I’ll miss you.”

“Okay.” Xia Yu picked Xiao Bao up and kissed him hard on the cheek.

After coaxing Xiao Bao, Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister, I’ll leave then.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Be careful. Call us if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Xia Yu’s eyes turned slightly red. Although this was not the first time they had parted, every parting was very sad.

After bidding farewell to Xia Wanyuan and the rest, Xia Yu got into the car to the airport alone.

Actually, the days in Beijing were peaceful. Logically speaking, people who had just returned from the battlefield should cherish this environment very much.

After all, in those endless deserts, there was no water, no food, and they had to worry about the threat of cannonballs at all times.

However, only those who had really experienced it knew.

After experiencing that thrilling life, when they returned to the ordinary city, they would miss the life of holding their dreams in their hearts, welcoming the setting sun in the desert, and dancing with danger in the rainforest.

To hot-blooded young people, that life was fatal and charming.

When he arrived at the airport, Xia Yu walked towards the boarding gate without looking back. However, just as he raised his foot, footsteps came from behind, followed by a familiar shout.

“Xia Yu, wait for me.”

Xia Yu turned around. Not far away, Lin Yi had removed her beautiful long dress and was wearing a neat shirt and pants. She was smiling and waving at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu stopped. “Why are you here?”

Lin Yi smiled. “What are you saying? I’m a reporter. Why can’t I come?”

“But didn’t your company say that they wanted to keep you in Beijing?”

“That’s right, but I rejected him. I’m used to running around outside. It’s boring to keep me here.” Lin Yi blinked at Xia Yu. “Besides, I want to fight alongside you. You can’t leave your comrades behind.”

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment. “Lin Yi, you…”

Lin Yi seemed to know what Xia Yu was going to say. She stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, “I know what you want to say, but Xia Yu, we’ve been together for a long time. You should understand that I’m not the kind of person who would give up on everything to be together with a man. I want to go out. Firstly, it’s because I love my profession. Then secondly, it’s because of you.”

Lin Yi had a very bright appearance to begin with. When she spoke so confidently, she was like a small sun that made one feel warm and powerful.

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, but there was a smile in his eyes. “Mm, I underestimated you. Comrade, let’s go.”

With that, Xia Yu reached out to take the bag from Lin Yi. “The photo you took last time was quite shocking. Your photography skills are not thick.”

“Look, you’re looking down on me again. I once won a Pulitzer Prize too.” A smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face again as he followed Xia Yu.

“That amazing?…”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the boarding gate. They did not notice that a white sports car had been parked there for a long time.

Seeing that the two of them had completely disappeared, Jiang Yun restarted the car and left the airport.

However, after driving for less than a kilometer, Jiang Yun suddenly found a roadside to park. Then, she walked forward and stopped a black car behind her.

The black car stopped and Lin Qingdai walked out with an apologetic expression. “Jiang Yun, I’m sorry. I really don’t have any other thoughts. I came over because of a client and saw your car. I wanted to come up and greet you, but when I saw Xia Yu and the rest, I didn’t come.”

Lin Qingdai’s face was filled with apology. Even when he was anxious, he spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun listened to Lin Qingdai quietly, then looked up and suddenly said, “Let’s get married early.”

“What?” Lin Qingdai originally thought that Jiang Yun would blame him for what had just happened, but he did not expect Jiang Yun to suddenly say this and did not react for a moment.

“Don’t you like me?” Jiang Yun asked Lin Qingdai.

Lin Qingdai’s handsome face suddenly turned a little red. He lowered his head slightly. “I do.”

Although he was a little resistant to blind dates at first, Lin Qingdai was very happy to see Jiang Yun.

She was beautiful and independent, but these were not the main reasons why he liked Jiang Yun.

The main reason was that Lin Qingdai felt that Jiang Yun had worked hard. He wanted to stand beside this girl and take good care of her.

Even though he knew that Jiang Yun did not like him, Lin Qingdai felt that there was no problem.

He was deeply influenced by England’s gentleman education. If Jiang Yun could like him, he would be grateful to God. If Jiang Yun could not let go of Xia Yu, he would quietly accompany her.

“I’ll forget him,” Jiang Yun suddenly said as she looked at Lin Qingdai’s red face.

In all fairness, Lin Qingdai was a very good man.

Jiang Yun had seen countless people, so she could naturally tell who was a real gentleman and who was a fake gentleman.

Jiang Yun was willing to give them a chance.

“Alright.” Lin Qingdai had a faint smile on his face. “I’ll get someone to find a date when we get back. Let’s get married early. When that day comes, I can take good care of your three meals every day. You eat too sloppily every morning. This is not good for your health.”

Jiang Yun nodded. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

As Lin Qingdai spoke, he was about to return to his car when Jiang Yun suddenly held his hand. Lin Qingdai turned around in surprise. This was the first time Jiang Yun had taken the initiative to hold his hand.

“Take my car back.” Jiang Yun pulled Lin Qingdai forward.

“Okay.” Lin Qingdai looked at their clasped hands and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then, he held Jiang Yun’s hand and interlocked their fingers.

Jiang Yun’s body stiffened for a moment, but in the end, she did not resist and followed Lin Qingdai’s actions.

The moment Lin Qingdai returned, he went to meet Lin Qingyuan first.

Lin Qingdai was a very polite person. Although he and Lin Qingyuan were brothers, ever since Lin Qingyuan succeeded the family head position, Lin Qingdai had always called him the family head.

“Master, I’m preparing to hold an early wedding with Jiang Yun.”

Lin Qingyuan looked up at the joy in Lin Qingdai’s eyes that had yet to dissipate and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Back then, when I asked you to go on a blind date, you were quite resistant. Now, you look happy. It seems like you have a good relationship with the daughter of the Jiang family.”

Lin Qingdai’s expression was a little unnatural. “If there’s no problem, I’ll get someone to check the date now.”

Lin Qingyuan smiled slightly. “It’s a good thing that the two of you get married early. What can I say? Go and get someone to check the date. Just hold it as soon as possible.”

“Okay, thank you, Master.” Lin Qingdai was relieved that Lin Qingyuan did not object. After saying goodbye to Lin Qingyuan, he could not wait to contact the company that arranged the wedding venue.

Watching Lin Qingdai leave, a dark look flashed across Lin Qingyuan’s eyes.

Marriage? Lin Qingyuan shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Kui, who had been eavesdropping, walked out.

During this period of time, he had been troubled by the warehouse in Continent M. Jiang Kui seemed to have a layer of hostility.

Lin Qingyuan glanced at the impatient Jiang Kui. “I thought I was already a very heartless person. I didn’t expect CEO Jiang to be even worse than me.”

Jiang Kui gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead bulged. “I don’t believe that Master Lin didn’t hear some recent rumors.”

Recently, Jiang Kui could clearly feel that Father Jiang was distrusting him more and more.

Especially after the incident in Continent M’s warehouse.

Jiang Yun had always been in charge of the warehouse in Continent M. She had founded it herself. Over the years, she had profited a lot for the Jiang Group and nothing had ever happened.

Jiang Kui’s eyes were red. He used all sorts of methods and finally snatched the power back from Jiang Yun.

However, less than two days after his smug days, something happened to the warehouse and it caused such a huge loss. The entire Jiang Group suffered a heavy blow in America’s market.

Father Jiang flew into a rage. Not only did he ask Jiang Kui to return all his power to Jiang Yun, but he even divided the main market in China to Jiang Yun.

In the past, Father Jiang would even bring Jiang Kui along to attend core-level meetings. Now that Jiang Kui had been completely dealt with, Father Jiang would bring Jiang Yun along wherever he went.

The outside world was spreading that the position of the head of the Jiang family might very well be passed on to Jiang Yun. Even Jiang Kui had such a premonition. How could he not panic?

“CEO Jiang, didn’t you think of a way?” Lin Qingyuan poured a cup of tea for Jiang Kui. “However, I didn’t expect you to bet with your sister’s life, CEO Jiang.”

On the first day Lin Qingyuan arrived in Beijing, Jiang Kui came looking for him.

In fact, according to Lin Qingyuan’s original idea, he wanted Lin Qingdai to marry Jiang Yun. This way, the Jiang family could be tied to the entire Lin family and support each other.

However, Jiang Kui suggested an idea.

He wanted to get rid of Jiang Yun in Jun Shiling’s name.

According to Father Jiang’s personality, if he knew that Jun Shiling had killed his daughter, Father Jiang, who already hated the Jun family, would definitely hand all his power to Jiang Kui and let him deal with the Jun family.

With Lin Qingdai’s infatuation with Jiang Yun, the Lin family would use Lin Qingdai as a gun and aimed it at the Jun family.

Such a community of interests connected by hatred could also be indestructible.

Most importantly, once Jiang Yun died, Jiang Kui would be the only legitimate successor of the Jiang family. Jiang Kui had promised Lin Qingyuan that as long as he became the head of the family, he would sign an alliance with the Lin family.

Anyway, it was not his sister who died. Lin Qingyuan had all the benefits, so he agreed readily.

Jiang Kui took a sip of tea. “Master Lin, you should know better than me that on the path of power, not to mention siblings, even parents and relatives have to be sacrificed sometimes.”

Lin Qingyuan smiled and did not speak. He only raised his cup and clinked it gently with Jiang Kui. “CEO Jiang, happy cooperation.”

On the other hand, Lin Qingdai left the Lin family and happily contacted many famous masters. In the end, he calculated that the 15th of next month was the best auspicious day of the year.

Lin Qingdai called Jiang Yun and told her the date. “What do you think? If you think it’s not good, we’ll choose again.”

“It’s nothing. It’s quite good.” Jiang Yun had no objections to the date. “We’ll do as you arranged.”

“Okay.”

The flower company in Beijing had recently smelled something very obvious.

In the past two days, the number of orders had soared. Not to mention Beijing, even the price of flowers in China was rising. Furthermore, the supply could not meet the demand. The goods that had just arrived were immediately swept away.
